Gracie had an okay night, she was a little restless at times and sounded like she was a bit congested. When it was time to wake up, Gracie wanted no part of it. She was snuggled in and she just wanted to keep her eyes closed, sucking her thumb. When she finally awoke we got some smiles, but they soon turned into strong-willed struggles. She didn't want to eat breakfast, she didn't want to get dressed, she didn't want her diaper changed, she didn't want to do anything but sit in front of the TV. At one point I went to pick her up and put her in her chair for breakfast and in her struggles my earring came in contact with her cheek and she had a scratch down her cheek.
Daddy took her to daycare and when he asked her if she wanted to go "bye bye" her mood lightened immediately. She was ready to go and happy to get to daycare. Guess she was sick of mom and dad and wanted to play with her friends.
When I picked Gracie up at daycare tonight she came running with arms open wide and a huge smile on her face. I got the greatest hug. Gracie was in a great mood all night. We worked on eating with a fork and spoon at supper. Jeff was still working and I find I can work with her best one-on-one without any distractions. It'll take more work, but I'm seeing progress.
Usually when Gracie is done with her food at home, she throws her plate on the floor and then clears any food left on the table with a swipe of the hand. Needless to say I'm not pleased with this practice and have been trying to teach her to sign "all done' when she is finished rather than throwing her plate. Tonight she did just that. The plate remained and she signed "all done". YAY!!!! I was thrilled.
Gracie was a crazy splasher in the tub tonight. She had a great time. She was tired when she got out though. She was asleep before 8:00 a.m. Sweet dreams.
Love,
Lisa, Jeff, and Gracie
